he rides for 4 more days, what is the average number of miles he would have to ride
each day to meet his goal?

Answer:

  • Rahul needs to ride 3 miles a day to meet his target.

==============================

Given

  • Target distance = 22 miles,
  • Distance already ridden = 10 miles,
  • Time to travel the rest of the distance = 4 days,
  • Average rate for 4 days = x miles.

We have the following linear equation to represent given situation:

  • 22 = 10 + 4x

Solve it for x to get the average number of miles:

  • 4x = 22 - 10
  • 4x = 12
  • x = 12/4
  • x = 3

In linear equation, He ride 3 miles each day.

Variable: x = Constant distance distance traveled each day.

Equation : 10+4x= 22

What is a formula for linear equations?

  • Y = mx + b, where x and y are the variables, m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept, is a straightforward way to write the linear equation formula.
  • Slopes provide information about a line's direction and steepness.

Total distance needs to travel = 22 miles

Distance already traveled = 10 miles

He will ride bicycle for 4  more days.

Let x = Constant distance distance traveled each day.

Total distance = 10+4x

10+4x = 22

4x = 22 - 10

4x = 12

  x = 3

Hence, he rode 3 miles each day.
